Travis Bickle On The Riviera

This time, it's 2020's Riders of Justice, courtesy of Anders Thomas Jensen and his beautiful perfect muse, Mads Mikkelsen. We also get into Streets Of Fire, a little about Zack Snyder (under pressure from Celia, I assure you!) and there's even a review of various bowls and their usefulness as soup receptacles.

This time around, the crew (Morgan, Celia & Tucker) are all talking about Saint Maud, an A24 prestige horror movie told at a painterly pace by a woman who just might be Rose Byrne. Did you know there's another Coney Island that doesn't have hot dogs? Find out about that, and more, including depressing hand jobs used in place of dialog for character development on this installment of "a movie podca...

It's a very special Abba-pology cast, with Tucker & Morgan diving into two of Celia's fist-pumpers, Muriel's Wedding and Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again. To maintain narrative coherence, they also get into Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert, which features Guy Pearce (from last week) and Abba (who feature prominently in the other movies.) But you already knew that, didn't you, you filthy maniac? Sure you...

This week, we're talking about Bob Odendirk's Nobody , whether there are enough bats in Arizona for dracula to have friends, and then it's time for Guy Pearce-ing it: The Rover, Ravenous & The Time Machine.  Celia makes a claim for blankness, will Tucker recover? Whose side will Morgan take? What about bubblegum pop!

Tucker and Celia were reeling from their second shots, but the coursing power of vaccination juice worked upon them much as the juice of Street Fighter's Dhalsim used medication to create Blanka. Who knew? But no, it's Mortal Kombat time. All of the live action Mortal Kombat movies get covered, but not television shit. No thank you, television!  

This week, Celia reports back on Concrete Cowboys, and the rest of us respond by saying: message received! Then it's time to get down to the meat of the PaxCast: One False Move, A Simple Plan & Frailty . Does Billy Bob Thornton steal the show a bit? He sure does!

It's an old timey round-up-cast, with Tucker, Morgan & Celia running the boards: Godzilla Vs. Kong & Bad Trip get some attention, but so does Roberto Rossellini and his neorealism, a metric ton of James Spader movies that Celia used as mood altering substances in her travels across the country, and a bit of riffing on Spielberg and a million other things: movies pal. Movies!

This week, it's Tucker & Celia with a chill out session on Judas & The Black Messiah, Sorry To Bother You, The Gate, a funeral Tucker went to, the question of psy ops and taking moral lessons from Mortal Kombat. There's more than that. There's a lot!

Maybe next time we should try a formal rundown of Philip Seymour Hoffman? We could all wear suits and carry around attache cases. Come celebrate Celia's first Communion as we talk about our favorite boy!

Bring It On: and no, we're not just referring to this week's double feature of melancholy streaming critical populist tales featuring 80s Korean family farms and widows cruising the badlands. We're also referring to the cheerleading classic, featuring the triple threat of Union, Dunst & Dushku. Is that all? NO. There's even more: Mafioso! Arguments about Seven Samurai! Lots of legitimate toilet hu...

This time around, we're talking about The Little Things, The Kid Detective and The Last Champion. So many movies featuring the word "The" at the beginning. We also have a swing-by guest who chats us up about WandaVision for a bit. Get some!  

This time around, we're watching your favorite streaming programs, I guess? One Night In Miami, The White Tiger & Another Round. At the close, Nina shows up so that Tucker can recap A Hidden Life, an extremely good Terence Malick movie that I guess people didn't like that much? It's good!

This week, we're catching up with Carey Mulligan's adventure outside of period dramas, Promising Young Woman . Then, it's project time: three people, three Jamie Foxx movies, three people who blew it. We blew it, guys! None of these are gonna knock Collateral or Vice out of the top Foxx spot! They include Stealth, which is about a plane and isn't really a Jamie Foxx movie, Law Abiding Citizen, whi...

We got together with an exacting series of math equations to determine our Top Ten Movies of 2020 while on the air, and then we figured out our bottom five as well. LISTEN to Celia's disgust with Tucker's support for Tenet, MARVEL at Morgan's attempt to rank a music documentary, PONDER all the other Udo Kier movies Tucker could have named before bringing up the Michael J. Fox one. It's a BEST OF s...

Tucker, Celia & Morgan get together to talk about some garbage-- WW84 and The Midnight Sky . Then they ask Nina to come by and update them with her thoughts on those stinkers, and she waxes philosophic about Avatar. Avatar ? Sure! You can download episodes directly from spotify , itunes and rss . This is a Patreon -supported podcast, subscribing to the show can give you access to additional conten...

This week, we're catching up with Tenet, conversations surrounding Tenet, expectations regarding John David Washington, the purposes of prissiness: etc. Then it's theater-o-clock, with Ma Rainey's Black Bottom coming in for examination. Who brings it home? Julia "The Joker" Roberts in My Best Friend's Wedding. What were you doing at 28? Don't answer that!

Hey buddy: have a good holiday. While you're wrapping your presents, get caught up on the Let Them All Talk, Mangrove, Red White & Blue and The Sound of Metal. It's an all 2020 style thing, as we wind down this year! You can download episodes directly from spotify , itunes and rss .

This week, we're catching up with the new one from Fincher, Mank , discovering that Celia isn't down with David, the latest from Blumhouse, Freaky and Lovers Rock, one of Steve Mcqueen's Small Axe movies.

This week's episode is a special dive into listener recommendations--an anonymous rec for The Beast of War (or "The Beast"), and Messiah of Evil, courtesy of Josh Simmons. And in keeping with tradition, Tucker takes a look at the latest (last?) Jack Reacher book, The Sentinel.  This was a random idea, but we dug it, so keep those recommendations coming! You can download episodes directly from  spo...

This week, we're talking about Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor and Remi Weekes' His House.  Then we throw each other on the spot to talk about Pride & Prejudice from 1995, 2020's Bad Hair and the demonic and awe-inspiring Wake of Death , featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme and two weeks worth of Ringo Lam. You can keep up with the show via spotify ,  itunes  and  rss . This is a  Patreon -supported pod...

It's time to talk about Jean-Claude Van Damme week: didn't you watch the news? This week, we're talking about his work with Ringo Lam ( Maximum Risk and Replicant ), Tsui Hark ( Double Team ) and John Woo ( Hard Target ). Tucker also did some extra credit and watched We Die Young,  which dropped last year. It's a good one!  You can download episodes directly from  spotify ,  itunes  and  rss . Thi...

This time around, we're looking at Unpregnant , from the HBO Max streaming platform, Blow The Man Down, from Amazon Prime, and The Wolf Of Snow Hollow , which didn't pick a side yet. We also make personal confessions and reveal secrets!

It's time for an extra long episode of Travis Bickle, because it's our favorite time of year: HELL-O-WEEN. This time around, we're talking about wolf movies--movies that feature wolves, either in their title or onscreen! Unfortunately the library didn't deliver Dances With ____ in time, but from what I can remember the only thing scary about that movie was its runtime. You can keep up with show at...

This week, Morgan, Celia & Tucker are standing abreast a sea of time, with a look at Conan The Barbarian, Red Heat and Killing Gunther: three films united not by their quality, but by the quality of their star. It's Schwarzenegger time!
